Dear Members of Expat in Denmark
We hope this newsletter finds you well.
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTWe're very happy to report that we are moving the Expatindenmark & letsmeetin sites to a new sever. This will allow us a range of fuctionailites and hosting power that were previously not available.
However, the main issue that affects you at this time is that you need to reset your password.
You will shortly receive an email from expatindenmark which contains a link for you to follow and your new unique password.
You should change this password to something you will remember easily.
You will need this revised password to sign-up to future events in June and onwards.
You will still receive our newslettter regardless of thhe changes to your username. However, we'd reallly appreciate if you take the 30 seconds to take care of this issue now, while it is fresh in your minds and ours.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Expat in Denmark Build-a-library
Do you have books for children which you don´t use anymore? Are the children's books written in English, Spanish or French? These books are valuable to other children living in the poorest regions of the world. You can make a difference in their lives by donate these books to the Build-a-Library Foundation. To learn more about the foundation, please click here.
Expat in Denmark is supporting this initiative and you will be able to leave books for the initiative at all of our events.

Cph Volunteers - Help out at ASSITEJ Festival
Being a volunteer is giving, not only to the person receiving the help, but also to the volunteer him/herself. 
Cph Volunteers is an Copenhagen based orginisation where volunteers run and manage a large number of large events and activites in and around Copenhagen. We think it's a great way to get involved with community actiuvites, and at the same time expand your network among Danes and other expats.
To read more about Cph Volunteers click here to read a Q&A click here.
A possible event which you may wish to volunteer toward is the upcoming ASSITEJ Performing Arts Festival for Young Audiences 2011.
